life span question

[mayjong]

hey all-
just wondering what the lifespan for a tomato clownfish is?
also for a neon dottyback?

thanks!

Not sure with the dottyback. Those clownfish can live to 20ish years at least.

I've got a pair of tomatos that were born March 1988, making them 22, almost 23 years old...and they're still spawning

I didn't breed them, Joe Lichtenbert did I purchased his broodstock when he retired, and these guys were some of the first fish he bred. I can't take credit for keeping them 22 years, but I can continue to keep them alive I'll see what I can do about getting some pictures, but they just look like any other tomato pair
